I know there's got to be someone out there who still wants an XT bridgeboard, so I'll try a little harder: $275 A2088 XTBB with all original equipment(drive/dos/docs/box) $ 25 Serial port card (expandable) with docs $ 50 SCSI interface adaptor (can control 2 drives) with docs OR all 3 for only $300. (and I'll throw in all my software + disks) I'll listen to offers, but it's still worth something to me as parts. Greg.

Greg, Just an opinion. While I'm sure that there is someone who'd want an A2088, I think $275 is WAY too much to ask. I sold mine over 2 years ago for $250. There have been times when I wished I still had it, but if I were to purchase a 2088 today I'd not be willing to pay over $100 for it. -sja

Ah, I see, I had no idea what a used XT was going for. Unfortunately no one even made an offer (to put me on the right track), so I had to go by my estimate of it's depreciation. Since, unfortunately, I bought it from a dealer about a year ago for about $580, I thought I'd be safe by more than halving that (guess I could never underestimate the value of an IBM related product). And, on a related note: anyone want all 3 for $200? If not, I guess I'll call it a loss and put the darn stuff back in. Greg.

Greg, $200 for all three wil go quickly, Keep your eye out for the "Once A Weekers" (folks who logon on weekends only). –pt–not seattle– 😉

You're right, it sold almost immediately, now I can get the Mega-Chip I've been considering and didn't quite have the cash to buy. Greg

You can get a new ATonce for $350.
